This has been discussed on numerous occasions, usually with somebody saying "I like manual transmission because it gives me more control...." and then ChrisV will say "you ignorant moron, teh auto is just as good for control....look at my RX-7". Or atleast that's what usually happens anyway, lol.

I personally prefer manuals as they offer the driver much more control, lol.... . Nah, in all seriousness though, manual for me every time as it's what I'm used to. I also prefer to shift gear at a stage that's comfortable to be, and the driving mood that I'm in. I will probably prefer an automatic some day though, when all I want to do is put my foot down and go. I also could have done with an auto when I was battling with London traffic on a daily basis when I was a salesman.

I like to drive manuals a lot more, it's a lot more fun and satisfiying to shift and do what I do and see how quick you can get to shiftin. Automatics can be nice but IMO they aren't satisfiying enough.

my car is a auto, i love it for the fact i drive alot in the city and basically everywhere. But if i lived in the country with no busy streets i would drive a maneul. Also i suck at stick i jus need to get more pratice releasing the clutch(i live with my mom who has Never driven a stick so i never get the opp. to learn)

Also, I like the fact that none of my family can borrow my car, because they cant drive it.

See now THAT'S a logical, definitive reason.

Much better than the typical, "look at me, I shifted. Oh, look, I did it AGAIN! This I how I keep driving interesting!" that typically passes for "informed responses" around here, where people forget to actually think before responding.

I thought about what I wrote...I even guessed what you'd say...sort of, lol
